Hyundai is expanding the Ioniq 6 lineup into a family of vehicles. The automaker recently announced a facelift for the uniquely styled car and revealed its plans for additional upcoming variants, including N-Line and full-fat N configurations.
The new car retains the basic shape of its predecessor, but it features a new front end and a more aggressive stance. Hyundai narrowed the headlights, and the new front-end shape is almost robotic. Hyundai didn’t show an N model, but the N-Line has even more aggressively styled front- and rear-end designs.
We didn’t get any specs for the updated Ioniq 6, but the recently-improved Ioniq 5 is probably a good starting point. It received a Tesla NACS port and range/battery improvements for the model year, which will likely trickle down to the Ioniq 6. The automaker also teased the N variant, giving a glimpse of the car’s rear end and spoiler in one of its press images.
Hyundai has teased the Ioniq 6 N before, showing a camouflaged car doing laps on a track, but we’ll have to wait until summer to learn more. The Ioniq 5 N is rapid, and it offers a bunch of clever features that help make it more than “just a fast EV.” The Ioniq 6’s sedan shape and lower stance should make for a better performance car, so it will be interesting to see where Hyundai ends up.
